As opposed to THE DONALD, who was born wealthy and stayed wealthy, despite all the BKs. Of course her record should be carefully examined, but so should Trump’s. It’s perfectly legitimate to criticize a candidate, even Trump, without the criticism being dismissed as a hit piece.

“...THE DONALD, who was born wealthy and stayed wealthy...”

That’s incorrect. He was born wealthy, at one point his net worth dropped to less than 0, then he became vastly more wealthy than when he was born.

Yes, except who trusts the Compost to be the ones to that, unless they have an agenda to choose the GOP candidate?

Trump inherited about $350 million.

Circa 1990 his net worth was around -$150 million.

Today he’s worth billions.

Which other candidates have businesses employing 22,500 plus?

Go back to the forums you were infesting prior to a month ago.

Nice try.

Trump certainly had wealthy folks, but it was D. Trump who turned that into an global empire worth many $billions$.

It takes 1,000 million to equal just 1 billion.☺

Read the book THE TRUMPS. It was Freidrich the grandfather who came from Germany penniless. Open a restaurant with coffee and horsemeat ( from the dying pack horses) along the trail to the Klondike. Returned to NYC with bride and died with 1917 Flue epidemic. Left a widow and three children a barber by trade. He also flipped houses
. Fred was 11. By 16 he was going to high school, and trade school, working weekend and buying buildings (with his mother’s signature. ) He worked long hours sometimes doing trade men’s jobs. Dealt with mob, corrupt politicians and numerous ethnic groups. ( best partner was Jewish )
Got a break by being honest during Truman fiasco. Testified in Congess during Eisenhower investigation - and became a republican

Donald worked at a young age along side his father. Came home weekend to help dad and go to church with mom. Did not socialize in college but bought and lived in rat infested property he owned fixing it up in evenings. By the time he graduated he was a millionaire on his own.

HE and his family worked hard THEY BUILT THAT COMPANY.
get off the envy priveledge bit.
( He even made his children have part time jobs — mowing - clearing land - working boat dock growing up)
